Compliance Consultancy Services

Checkmate’s ‘Fire Compliance’ Division helps organisations to achieve passive fire protection compliance. The services offered range from formulating specifications at the design stage to inspections at completion. In existing buildings we can assist with a menu of services that include the creation of fire strategy drawings, inspection of fire walls and fire doors and the air leakage testing of rooms or areas where airtightness of the structure is a critical requirement for life safety, property protection or business continuity.

Fire Door CHECKmaterix™ Fire door compliance is a major issue and is a great concern to a number of organisations and individuals. To help clarify some of the issues regarding specifications and frequency of inspection, Checkmate Fire have created the Fire Door CHECKmaterix™ which enables various stakeholders to categorise doors in terms of usage and level of critical importance to the safety of the building.

Fire Compliance Surveys & Reports

To meet the legal requirements of the RRO, building owners and occupiers must ensure that the fire compartmentation in their buildings is robust and being adequately managed and maintained. To satisfy this need Checkmate offers a range of Compliance Survey and Reports tailored to the client’s unique circumstance and priorities. Surveys are increasingly using latest real-time technology to enhance levels of accuracy and meet or exceed customer expectations.

Such modules either holistic or stand alone, cover subjects such as fire door inspection and responsibilities under the Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order.

Air Leakage Testing

Checkmate’s air sealing expertise has been gained from the successful sealing of numerous Comms Rooms and other areas of strategic importance over many years, both working for clients direct and for Active Fire Protection companies, most notably FDSA Fire Protection, G&D Fire Protection and Vigilaris.

Since 2002, this expertise has been used to seal envelope buildings to help meet the air leakage and energy conservation requirements of Building Regulations L2. In 2005, Checkmate entered into a partnership agreement with Wintech Engineering, one of the UK’s leading UKAS Accredited air leakage consultants, to provide a complete air sealing and testing package to clients.

Steve Bramhill, Wintech Director of On-site Services states:

“In order for Wintech Engineering to offer a competitive, fully comprehensive service to its customers we have chosen to partner with Checkmate Fire, whose ethos for quality, flexibility and value is in line with our own.”

In addition to fire and airsealing walls in hospitals to prevent the unchecked spread of fire and smoke, the sealing of compartment and sub-compartment walls provides the added benefit of arresting cross contamination within areas of a hospital.
